I bought them indeed to support the developers. I liked them. They were good games. Not saying they weren't. I would always have played them before had they been free, but when I realised, I bought them. I realised why they charged, and in my opinion they deserved the money for their hard work and money it must've cost them for the game resources. As for game production, they were nothing like Acefire, if that's what you're thinking. Acefire was of my own design. Of course I realise that much more simple games can be made, just as much more complex ones can be too. For example, I'm still trying to learn, and am having trouble with, programming sidescroller games. Hmm, let's think. Sound panning? Level writing? Difficulty levels on top? If Acefire was over 20000 lines...what would an online multiplayer-capable sidescroller be? Sheesh. No, it is indeed my longterm aim to start writing sidescrollers and real shooters. Maybe even do some mixing and matching with ideas. You may see on my website we've got several game ideas, and several more have come to us since the writing of this page. Also don't forget that this isn't just me either. There are a few of us working together. For example, we are close to releasing Chopper Challenge for Pacmate. Thanks. Regards, Damien
